Numbers 1
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the wilderness of Sinai. This happened on the first day of the second month during the second year after the people of Israel had come out from the land of Egypt. Yahweh said,
以色列人出埃及國後第二年二月一日，上主在西乃曠野於會幕內訓示梅瑟說：「

因為上主曾訓示梅瑟說：「
49 “You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the total of the people of Israel.
只有肋未支派，不要登記，不要將他們列在以色列子民內。
50 Instead, assign the Levites to care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees, and to care for all the furnishings in the tabernacle and for everything in it. The Levites must carry the tabernacle, and they must carry the tabernacle's furnishings. They must care for the tabernacle and make their camp around it.
你應派肋未人管理會幕和其中一切器皿，並一切附屬物。他們要搬運會幕和其中一切器皿，在會幕中服務，住在會幕的四周。
51 When the tabernacle is to move to another place, the Levites must take it down. When the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites must set it up. Any stranger who comes near the tabernacle must be killed.
會幕要遷移時，肋未人拆卸；會幕要搭紮時，肋未人張搭；若俗人走近，應處死刑。
52 When the people of Israel set up their tents, each man must do so near the banner that belongs to his armed group.
以色列子民應分隊紮營，各歸本旗。
53 However, the Levites must set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant decrees so that my anger does not come upon the people of Israel. The Levites must care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees.”
但肋未人應在會幕四周紮營，免得以色列子民會眾觸犯天怒；肋未人應負責看守會幕。」
54 The people of Israel did all these things. They did everything that Yahweh commanded through Moses.
以色列子民都照辦了；上主怎樣吩咐了梅瑟，他們就怎樣辦了。
